<p>They don’t march. It’s called a scatter band. </p>

5

<p>well i mean is there a stereotype of the students in the scatter band? like do the majority of the student body shy away from students in the band?</p>

<p>The student body loves them and their antics…on the other hand, the administration may want to “at times” deny they are part of “Stanford” because of their hijinx during certain games on other opposing “campuses”…</p>

<p>…you will be greeted by this infamous “band” sometime during your Admit Weekend…don’t want to spoil it for you…</p>

<p>Scattering is a subset of marching.</p>

<p>March: “walk or proceed quickly and with determination.”</p>

<p>And no, the student body doesn’t shy from them at all - as gravitas2 mentioned, they are loved and appreciated.</p>

<p>What I think is exceptionally cool about them is how inclusive they seem to be. I heard that it does not take much effort or musical skill to become a member - you just have to have the commitment and passion. For example, one person got in by playing the finger-cymbals.</p>
